Where is the "didSelectRowAtIndexPath" function when using Xcode 5.1.1? I can't seem to find it.

I can't find the "didSelectRowAtIndexPath" function. The tutorial was fine until now. I can't seem to find what they are talking about.

in older versions of Xcode (the one used in the video) that method got implemented for you automagically whenever you subclassed UITableViewController. In the new version of Xcode (Xcode 5+) that does not happen anymore so you have to implement it yourself. you can just copy and paste the method in:

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {


}

or you can start typing -(void)tableView and then select the method from autocomplete. be sure you select didSelectRow and not didDeselectRow
